The 1098 format doesn’t matter; you don’t have to give that to the IRS. I have some private loans for rentals and don’t even get a 1098 for them but still report the interest on my schedule E. You should report all income and all deductions regardless of whether you get proper documentation of them. Of course in an audit you’ll need to prove you actually are entitled to the deduction. Are you a co-borrower or guarantor on the loan and are you making part of the loan payment? If so then you can deduct your portion of the interest (if there are 3 coborrowers that would be 33% of the interest paid). If not then check with a cpa; I’m not sure whether you are entitled to deduct the interest of a mortgage that isn’t your liability even if you own part of the property it’s secured by.
